Saturday morning here in the UK and I've woken up to a classic weekend era thread.

Is it okay to take your shoes off at the movie theater?
- Thread starter Border
- Start date
Serious question:
Why on earth would you do that?!
Second not-so-serious question:
How about those folks who go and see a film at the cinema in summertime whilst wearing flip-flops, seeing as they're practically barefoot already?

Yes, I do sometimes. Mostly when the movie is really long and I have warm shoes on. But I would never take them off if I have smelly feet so I always check first. I'm very careful with body care so I always have clean feet with fresh socks.
That someone finds it disgusting just to see feet at a theather couldn't bother me less. I really do not care that much for the opinion of others. I'm in a space where people whisper, crunch on snacks and walk right in front of you so I feel that it's kinda mutual.

I don't see what's wrong with it? Why only be concerned about your feet? Nothing wrong with getting a little dirty
Sometimes I go to the movies after work, so I'll take off my boots. Depending on the day I'll have been in boots anywhere between 10-16 hours. I actually wash my feet and wear clean socks so it never smells. The people that are so against it are probably the ones who don't believe in socks so their feet smell like dead animal mixed with summertime dumpsters
Socks though? Nah..

Oh yeah, especially during film festivals. Bring some beer and kick the shoes off. It's great! And my socks/shoes don't stink.
I haven't done it but I don't see the big deal. Assuming you're an adult who washes then why would anyone care?
First, I do this almost everytime I go to the theater with reclining seats. Most of my friends also do it.
People talking about "sticky floors", its no like anyone keeps walking around the theater. Everyone stay on their seat all the time and their feet are up on the footrest.
And if your feet smell you really should check your higiene and take care of it.

I've done it when there's no-one around me or if I'm watching with a family member. Especially if I've been walking around all day.
But I know my feet don't stink, I take care of myself.

No that's disgusting. I see people doing this shit in trains as well and they should get fined.
I could maybe see it being allowed if you walk barefoot everywhere (location super close to the beach) and you don't have a pair of shoes with you so noone can really force a dress code on you, but it would still be disgusting.
Keep your shoes on and your pants zipped/buttoned, op.

Y'all don't value your own comfort enough.
Someone start a thread about taking shoes off at work.

Damn, sounds like the shoe rule is just as complicated as the tipping rule. How am I supposed to know where to take my shoes off!?!?! What about at the library since we are supposed to be quiet
As long as you don't smell it's okay imo... i mean i go to the theater with flip flop in summer so it's the same as not having shoes on at all...
but usually if i go with shoes i keep them on

Are you crazy?! Haven't you seen Die Hard? Here in America a shootout can happen on a moment's notice, and bare feet are a huge weakness.
And there's the problem. People cannot be trusted with such power. The average person on the street is fucking gross, unless I guess you're in really clean societies like parts of Japan.
Slipping off sandals is ok I guess, but that's where I draw the line.
unless you're a cutie, in which case show them toes
No, I don't think it's okay to do that in the theater - especially it there are plenty of people watching the movie with you.
I just think maybe of one exception - if you are on the whole night movie marathon and you are sure that you've just showered before going for this event? But still, I never do it and would not like to sit opposite someone who does that.

It's not complicated at all. Here's a quick rundown.
Are you in public? Yes. Are you at the pool or the beach? No. Are you a small child? No. Then leave your fucking shoes on.
Are you at home or the pool or the beach? Take them off! Enjoy!
